Kamyar Hekmat, DDS

Well almost 5 years later and Dr. Hekmat and his team continue to delivery quality dental service. I wish I had better dental genes, but since I don’t I am happy to have Dr. Hekmat as my dentist. I will be taking my 2 year old to Dr. Hekmat for her first dental visit, I know his calming presence will work wonders.
I am updating my profile because my husband who had superb dental genes was saved from pain and unneeded dental work by Dr. Hekmat. A couple months ago he purchased a Groupon for a cleaning, the groupon dentist told him he had 5 cavities – my husband just about passed out at the thought of having a cavity, let alone 5 of them as he has never had a cavity in his life. Well, he knew if he was going to have all that dental work, Dr. Hekmat would be the best. At his appointment, Dr. Hekmat could not find any of the said cavities. He is honest and a true professional.

I love Dr Hekmat and his entire staff (hi, Sandy)!
My family and I have been patients of Dr Hekmat for over 20 years. I have heard how some other dentists make you get services like root canals when the service isn’t really needed. Dr Hekmat is the most honest dentist you can find. He will never recommend any services that are not required and always offers the best service ever.
Plus, he really cares for his patients! I broke my front tooth a few years ago on the weekend –I called to leave a voicemail for Sandy (the office manager) to get me the first appointment on Monday. Within 30 minutes, Dr Hekmat called me back himself and offered to come in on that day to fix my tooth!
I have recommended Dr Hekmat to friends, co-​workers, and extended family — and each one of them have thanked me for it!

I cannot recommend Dr. Hekmat strongly enough. I have problem teeth (countless cavities and SIX root canals!) and had been struggling to find a trustworthy, conservative and insightful dentist I felt comfortable with.
I first visited Dr. Hekmat for his opinion on a tooth that had recurring pain, after hearing rave reviews from friends and family who had been his long-​time patients. I had already visited two other dentists and my endodontist — none of whom could figure out the cause, since I had already had a root canal on that tooth.
Dr. Hekmat took extensive x-​rays and asked me a ton of questions to try to pinpoint possible causes — not only for this one tooth, but the recurring dental challenges I was experiencing. He suggested that it might be my bite as well as an old root canal that had not been completed correctly. He adjusted my mouth guard as well as evened out a couple of my crowns to adjust my bite. I started having relief just a few days later. He continued to monitor me bi-​monthly over the next six months and only then did he suggest that we move forward with seeing an endodontist to consider redoing the root canal. The endo he recommended was phenomenal and he successfully retreated my original root canal. Throughout the process, I have continued to receive phone calls from Dr. Hekmat, checking in on my pain, progress and any concerns.
I have now been a patient for almost two years and see Dr. Hekmat and his wonderful staff three times a year for cleanings. His bedside manner, compassion and overall knowledge and experience is unparalleled by any other professional I have visited.

I’ve been going to this dentist for over 10 years now and he’s a great dentist. Doesn’t try to scam you or anything, and fixes a problem when he spots one. Had to get an emergency extraction for a wisdom tooth with a deep cavity, and the entire procedure took about 10 minutes with NO adverse side effects. Very clean office as well, and the receptionist Sandy is AMAZING!

Dr. Hekmat is awesome! I have had soooooo much dental work all my life and I can say he is absolutely the best. I don’t know how he does it, but I never feel the shots! Very gentle and soothing, which has been so important with having major work done like crowns and bridges. Plus he’s got amazing staff at both offices — Downtown LA and Westwood — so you have lots of options when scheduling. You’ll never want to go to another dentist after him.

I have had three visits with Dr. Hekmat so far and I am very much pleased with the outcome of his work which included two posts and caps after my implants. I have found Dr. Hekmat to be very competent and very knowledgeable with his work. He explained everything to me thoroughly which put me at ease. I find his price to be very reasonable and I am impressed with his quality of work. His staff are warm, courteous and professional His office environment is very welcoming and pleasant. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Hekmat is the most honest dentist ever! I started going to him last year and he is the sweetest! He won’t ever suggest to do any additional work on you just to make an extra buck.
I had previously taken my son to a children’s dentist who insisted my son needed crowns on two of his teeth, saying that the cavities were too big and a filling would just fall out soon after. When I took my son to Dr. Hekmat he said there was no need for crowns, and that fillings would be just fine. It’s been several months and the fillings are still there, haven’t fallen out at all. I love going to a place knowing the doctor is being honest and wont take advantage of you as a patient.
His staff is also super nice and welcoming. Sandy the receptionist is courteous and friendly and always has a smile on her face. Aracely and Nathalie (the dental assistants) are gentle and very patient.
Even though I dislike the sounds all the dental equipment makes, everyone makes me feel comfortable and I always know I’m in good hands when I’m there.
